A few weekends back, I was craving a stay-at-home Sunday afternoon filled with grocery shopping and pie baking. I followed this simple recipe but added some blackberries and lemon juice for an extra kick.

This past weekend, the weather was absolutely gorgeous that it just seemed wrong to get into my car and drive to run my errands. So, I put on my walking shoes (and by walking shoes, I mean my Birkenstocks of course) and walked up and down my neighborhood. I stopped for ice cream, picked up my dry cleaning, did a little vintage shopping with my boyfriend, and admired the architecture + blooming trees in my neighborhood.

Since I moved to San Francisco almost exactly one year ago (eeek!), I’ve explored some pretty beautiful neighborhoods. Every time I visit, I think about where I would want to live if I ever moved to the city and right now, I think the Marina has my heart. Bay views, Golden Gate Bridge peepin’, beautiful shops, and flower marts like the one showed below….yes.

There’s nothing quite as regal and glamorous as having molding in your home, especially when it’s original molding. When I walk into a home with beautifully ornate molding in a few rooms, I am instantly taken back to my days in Palace de Versailles when I studied abroad in Paris.

A coffee table is such a great opportunity to insert life and personality in your living room. Simply by adding flowers to a coffee table, for instance, the whole room can come together. Because of this, I always like to have my coffee table styled to perfection. Here’s what I do:

Stack of books – Keep image-heavy books so your guests can flip through when they are sitting in your living room. The books should stacked on top of each other with the largest at the bottom. Stay tuned for a post all about my favorite coffee table books.
